Mike what I like about your site is that most people here are not teachers or scratch golfers and all want to better their swings. However you havn`t deciples like brian has to easy your duties. People on the site try to get into brians head and his helpers I`m sick of all thier bickering with each other and the know it alls. I asked a simple question about how to clear hips it went to 20 pages and hyjack my question. Changed to whole theme. I know your busy with your book and cant find time to answer questions like you do but want to tell you that your appreciated cause you always help a hacker like me

PS....I`m having trouble opening my hips on the down swing, some say with the new release it will happen automatically, is that right?

Joe,

How much are you trying to open you hips on the way down?? Re you trying just to rotate them open? We do want our pelvis to feel like it moves a little sideways and in many cases it might feel like it is going a little back behind you to control the thrust aspect of the pelvis.

I would make sure your hips aren't running away from the impact but more bracing for it!

Mike thanks for the quick reply..I feel that my hips arent opening(I`m not trying to) because my swing is stopping and I`m not coming tru the ball to the top,In other words I`m not finnishing my swing. Is it becauseI`m not opening my hips or is it something else. I was driving the ball better than ever untill the last couple of weeks since I`v been trying the new release which I have no idear how it works so now I`m in between the devil and the deep blue sea(thats showing my age)....thanks again...jp

Joe, is there a chance they aren't opening because your shoving your pelvis too much target side (swaying through)?

I use to try and focus on the hips because I was an ex baseball player and thats how I initiated my swing, but with golf once you move that pelvis laterally your hips wont open naturally and if they do it is disaster. I think that is when they starting running away from you.

JMO, but that is why now I don't worry about any lower body what so ever and just try and swing the clubhead. The more stable I keep the lower body the more I can flick at impact.

But listen to Mike above all else, he has and will be revolutionizing the golf swing for handicappers.

Great post Jwat... Very good advice about the lower body

Yes I do slide forward and do try and use the club head to the ball butI`m not finishing my swing,something is missing that I`m not doing I feel like I`m all arms.
